TESTEX CIRCULARITY – Ready for the evolving EU requirements on sustainability claims

09.10.26

With the EU Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo), requirements for sustainability labels and environmental claims are becoming more stringent. Companies need to ensure that their sustainability communication is based on credible, transparent and independently verified information.

In response to this evolving regulatory landscape, we have further developed the TESTEX CIRCULARITY certification scheme to align with the requirements of EmpCo, supporting our customers in navigating the changing requirements for sustainability claims.

Strengthening the TESTEX CIRCULARITY certification framework

TESTEX CIRCULARITY continues to assess textile products across three key dimensions: Durability, Repairability and Recyclability.

The certification framework has been further strengthened through independent third-party assessment, enhanced surveillance and certification procedures, and clear rules governing certification claims and the use of the TESTEX CIRCULARITY label.

A credible basis for circularity claims

These developments reinforce TESTEX CIRCULARITY as a robust certification scheme, designed to provide companies with a credible and verifiable basis for communicating the circularity performance of their products.

The latest version of the TESTEX CIRCULARITY Standard is available here.
